Balkan-Style Savory Cornbread image

Savory, salty, and tangy, this cornbread is great for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The recipe is a mashup of Bulgarian banitsa and Bosnian razljevak. Serve warm, topped with plain yogurt or eat it by its lonesome self. If you love sweet cornbread, this probably isn't your cup of tea.

This cornbread is a bit different from the traditional Southern cornbread that I'm used to, but it's still very good. I especially like the addition of feta cheese and olives.
